The Stepfather

by Adrienne Van Houten on October 18, 2009

The Stepfather I clearly stated to all of you when I started this section of the blog, that I do not do scary movies.  Lucky for you Stephanie does.

“Lakeview Terrece,” “Disturbia” and now the “Step-Father,” have officially fell out of the same cookie cutter mold from Hollywood just changing enough of the story to avoid being suied pants-less for copy writing.

“Step-Father” wasn’t a bad movie. The acting was decent, the characters were believeable, and it was something that sounds like it could be on one of those crime shows on Tru-Tv.  However, it was more a movie of the week than something that should be released in theatres.

As for being scary, not so much. Suspenseful, not so much. Afterall, we seen in the forementioned movies all ready. Even the action scenes seem to have mirrored other recent movies. Pools, roofs, and attics, are really the only hiding places left in Hollywood?

I took my ten-year old cousin with me to see it, he said, “It’s pretty good.”  I rest my case.

Bottom Line: Disturbia without Shila Buff and with more parental involvement.
